@sarahsweets.....thanks for your thoughts on this. The friend having the birthday pretends to like them in public, but I honestly think deep down she doesn't care for them. She's not a stupid person and must certainly see them as the bullies they are. But she puts on her game face for appearances. I have heard other people complain about this rude couple, so I know it's not just me. The difference between me and most of the other people is that I stood up to this couple. I let them know that unlike others, I'm not going to just bend over and take their S**t. I think I now live in their nightmares since I had the guts to do that. So they are nervous around me and play childish games like the loud laughing to put on airs that they are not bothered by me. But I know they really are. They are idiots. I keep telling myself that this too shall pass and someday I'll be living some place else and they will fade into memory.
